I have recently installed Sublime text 2 and I must say it's one of the best text editors I've ever used or even seen in use.

So I managed to install everything and added to the unity menu and also change all the entries of gedit.desktop to sublime.desktop and it works just fine for most files, but I realised that some files still open in gedit, for example PHP files. I checked the default list for PHP, but there isn't anything in there.

How would I set the default for opening PHP files?

Also, Sublime doesn't show up in them properties menu where I can usually select the default program.

Hey, i think that is the case. Have to questions for you now. First of all how to you find the PPAs? i researched how to install sublime and nothing about it came up. Secondly i have run the first three steps you gave me, when i get to remove it selects packages but doesn't remove them because they're not there, so this means the sublime i installed myself is still on my system, how would i remove that? Thanks for the help.

It's okay i've sorted that now, i just reverse engineered what i did to install it.
